Im confused. .....how did you marry in June but say K1 expired in November? The period is 90 days from entry to marry. If he entered and married in June, the deadline would be in September. ....correct?

His I-94 said Nov 30 .. Meaning that after Nov 30 he would have no status. It was explained to me like . He entered April so we had 90 days from then to get married..

Ok, so they actually extend the I-94 so you have time to adjust status if you marry on day 89, I never knew that. Thank you

I just got off the phone with USCIS and they told me that my taxes aren't even needed to AOS.... So now I feel like the person that told me that, doesn't know what she was even talking about. I will be filing AOS soon.

My husband is in the states tho .. Should I still file single and then adjust

Of course your filed taxes are needed for AOS, whoever told you that you don't need them is very wrong !!!!

Never trust the USCIS "misinformation line."

Jointly filed taxes are good evidence of a genuine marriage.

You get the ITIN by filing the W7 with your tax return or going to an IRS office to get one

http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/General-ITIN-Information

I suggest doing it ASAP since you are late filing your taxes.

The alternative is to file as married filing separately and writing NRA in the SSN spot (NRA stands for non-resident alien) or filing head of household if you qualify.


Ok, so they actually extend the I-94 so you have time to adjust status if you marry on day 89, I never knew that. Thank you

You do not have to adjust your status within 90 days of arrival (the day you arrive is day 1)

You have to get married within 90 days of arrival. The AOS can happen any time after that without an I-130 needed.

If you marry after the 90 days, then you need to send an I-130 with your adjustment of status paperwork.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.  - Dr. Seuss

is he your husband or fiancee K-1? have you married within the 90 days? he needs a soc security Number????? rule of thumb no friends, family in immigration business. talk to a immigration lawyer or tax consulant not affiliated as family friends.

You can't file "single" because you are not single! Your choices are: "married filing jointly", "married filing separately" or "head of household".
